Philodendron bipinnatifidum is a beautiful tropical plant that is usually grown in full sun, but can tolerate and adapt to deep shade so ideal as a houseplant for any room. It grows best in rich, moisture-retentive soil that can be slightly alkaline so like damp soil. It is capable of supporting itself at massive heights by producing tree-like bases. However, it will exhibit epiphytic characteristics if given the opportunity to attach itself to a nearby supporting tree and climb upon it. The trunk of this plant can send down many strong aerial roots that not only give support to the overall plant mass, but also serve to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. We recommend sitting this plant on a tray of pebbles with water to keep the humidity level high. We sell this plant in a mature form in very large 30cm wide plastic pots.
